The research has been done and the data is clear:
Low-income children with College Savings Accounts have a far higher likelihood of attending and completing college than their peers without dedicated savings accounts.
College In My Future has been designed with this research in mind and based on the best practices from dozens of programs around the country that have enrolled over 900,000 children in CSA programs.
We are thankful to Prosperity Now for their leadership in this space and to our colleagues in San Francisco, St. Louis, Lansing, and Muskegon County that have helped us with program design.
